Get your brains together

What would it be like to look into the brain of a book club? 

Or a sociology class? Or a creative agency? Can shared sandboxes for ideas help us build knowledge in ways that online documents and chat rooms still can’t?

This is Are.na’s central promise, and we hope the new groups make it much easier for you to think together on the platform in many different contexts. We hope they offer you another tool for creating your own mindful social spaces online. Most of all, we hope they helps you learn from other people and expand the boundaries of your curiosity.

Start thinking together.

‘Maria’ concept bike by Ishii Tatsuya (1999)

“Musician, artist, event producer, and designer. Ishii Tatsuya’s incredible concept bike was created for his production of the 1999 Suzuka 8 Hours Endurance Road Race. Named "Maria”, (after the robot temptress in Fritz Lang’s Metropolis we can only assume) the all chrome bike was complete with a fully costumed woman rider. The fate of the amazing Maria after her debut event remains unknown.“

What makes a digicam fashionable? This is the overlooked Olympus Stylus Verve / µ-mini (2004). Very small, and underpowered by today’s specs (4mp), but with an aerodynamic design no other digicam would have since. It first debuted in the 2004 Olympus Fashion Week in New York. It comes from a lineage first seen with Ross Lovegrove. He developed this Olympus Eye concept digicam (1990). It is unknown if he helped design the Verve, but this futuristic look carried over from the Eye to Stylus Verve in a decade.

As tech becomes increasingly utilitarian and all consolidated, it is important to recognize when digicams were once a fashion statement for the consumer. Maybe companies will take notice as users start splitting their smartphones into single-use devices. – Froyo Tam [ twitter ] [ y2k main twitter ] First image taken by Froyo on a Panasonic Lumix LX5

IBM and Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology is the area of science and innovation concerned with material of less than 100 nanometers. Specifically, it involves the control and manipulation of individual atoms and molecules. On this day in 1979, IBM created the smallest electronic circuit elements ever reported. The nano devices had a thickness of only 100 by 200 atomic diameters – that’s smaller than the fibers of a human nerve. This breakthrough was one of the first steps in the still-ongoing development of nanotechnology. Today, IBM scientists continue to explore and improve the design of semiconductors and computer chips, making them smaller, smarter and more energy efficient. It’s another way IBM is investing in practical technology development for the future.

Dwarsliggers, the palm-sized, horizontal books that have recently gained popularity, seem to privilege cosmetics over function. But perhaps these mini-volumes aren’t just decorative. John Green’s young-adult novels are now being reissued as dwarsliggers. Could this be an advancement in the state of biblio-technology?
